One challenge in creating artwork for use on a dark shirt is how best to display the artwork against a dark background obviously. Colorizing the art a lighter shade isn’t always effective and what should be read as a negative tends to turn to a positive and it runs the risk of ruining the arts effectiveness.

One way to get around this is to create a halo type of effect using large easy to silk-screen halftone dots to glow if you will from behind the art. This also allows you to keep the art simple. In this step by step you’ll see how to effectively pull off a one color t-shirt illustration on a dark background using this method.
